Just bought a newer 6.7 powerstroke and stumbled across your channel. Still keeping the ol lbz duramax just because. Hard to beat these pre emmesions rigs.
@@JacobOverman I think a good video idea would be your maintenance. I see PTT doing it in a shop setting. Not many guys laying in the snow and doing stuff the rough way. Would be curious to see how you treat it
@@akassault7515 well 7.3’s I’m not as picky about it. I do fuel filters. (As remembered) and try to change oil between 5-10k. I’ve went 20k+ on oil. I know it’s not right. 6.7. I change oil regular between 5-10k and fuel filters every other oil change. I pull the trucks into the shop to do it. Gravel floor.
Im just in shock how rust free your trucks are. I live in Illinois and i would wash my 7.3 every weekend and still managed to rust the bed out and the rocker panels
The good 7.3 and white 6.7 are both born and raised in North Carolina. Very clean trucks for sure. The white 7.3 is a Washington state truck so idk about its story. But it’s still pretty clean.
@@nathanalexander6289 😂😂dude about half of the US states use salt, there’s nothing special about using salt, wanna experience real rust?? Go to Wisconsin or another northern state that uses chemicals and salt for the roads, you be very surprise about the results 😂
My DD ‘97 powerstroke I’ve owned for twenty years and 310k. It has 400k total. It has been in the single digits here for weeks and the old girl fires up without being plugged in. Best machine I’ve ever owned.
Nice trucks, man! All of them! I would take all the batteries that you’re going to disconnect inside so they don’t freeze. I know they shouldn’t freeze if they don’t lose charge, but when it gets crazy cold, they could get ruined! That gold truck is awesome! I have an early 99 F350 7.3 with a 6 speed! 330,000 miles! When that thing needs charged to start when it’s cold and dead, put a charger or jumper cable on both batteries and let it sit for awhile. I just dealt with that on mine. Don’t crank so much on a low battery, it’s not good for the starter or the motor. The way that white 7.3 fired up was awesome! Just like they should! Keep up the good work!
I was cold starting my very similar looking black and gold 297k 03 7.3 in -2 blizzard conditions a few weeks back. The temp cycling everyday made the famous pan leak at the dip stick adaptor. The trucks very first leak! A new o-ring and some weasel sauce, and it's good for another couple decades. Self activated rust prevention! 🤣 Now I'm starting to get nervous about the old oil cooler. We've been only getting to the low teens at night where it's parked at my house, but at work I was at the top of the la sal mountains here near Moab Utah. It's been down to -10 up there.. Brrrrr.. Fresh ZD-11's, a stancore relay, new batteries and a high torque starter gets it done nicely. I had zero problems doing 12 hr overnights and she starts right up like a new truck! In these winter months it helps a lot to go to 5w40 T6. Your gold one wasn't fueling for a good while. That's why it took so long to start. No smoke equals no fuel. Change the oil, I bet that alone helps a good bit. She mad at 29, it would be a dead duck up these mountains up here. Stay warm out there brother, Merry Christmas!
Been an amazing truck. I don’t think I’ve ever changed the oil in it. I’ve had it almost 5 years. Truck works hard and never fails. Besides the rear axle flying out once. Other than that. Been a great truck
Got an 2001 ford f2shity 7.tree Michigan truck all original over 700 thousand miles. Works construction and plowed every winter of its life...13 letter shitspreader INTERNATIONAL best diesel ever made. Still stroking and purrs like a kitten...
I don’t know why that was funny but seeing you try too back it up and the drive shaft just is sitting there spinning on the ground lol enjoyed the video btw
Had a 2018 f350 loaded platinum and sold it cuz missed the 7.3's!! Hated dealing with the def and the mpg was only 2 mpg better!! Just silly to buy a newer truck if you can find a rust free low mileage 7.3!! Found a loaded excursion in excellent condition with 160k and a f250 with 230k lariat rust free! Interior on both rigs are almost mint as well!!!! Added a hydra to the f250 and the edge tuner/ monitor the the excursion and makes them bit fun to drive!!😃😃😃 They will be the last trucks I will own!!
If you couldn’t afford the 6.7 just say that 😂😂😂 just kidding the 7.3s are the best I use one for my plow truck But I have a 2014 king ranch I keep for my personal truck to do estimates and towing my bobcat around since I own a small concrete business
My 99 F350 srw ccsb doesn't like to sit for more than a day when it is below freezing. I need to replace the battery cables this spring, pretty sure that is my biggest issue. One of these days i will replace the out dated edge tuner with a hydra.
My 97 7.3 with 318000 will start first hit on key in the Michigan cold no block heat but I'm not driving in winter anymore as I have a gmc 1500 also. My 7.3 I have ford's high idle. the apcm module for a wrecker or such. I can go 1300 to 2500 rpms or maintain voltage for stationary winching etc
Last year I did a cold start on my 7.3 with a temp of -20°, and my glow plugs are going bad gotta replace them soon, but yea these trucks will start and very low temperatures if you start it every so often
When I jump mine i turn the headlights on and wiggle the cables until i get a good connection. No need to rev the donor truck. If you get a good connection it will crank
@@JacobOverman hell yeah I watched the gold pickup shit the yoke frozen to the ground lol. My 02 has about 381k on it as of now. Do you wanna buy another one? It's for sale.
Man get you a lithium ion jump pack. Like 100 bucks and you don't have to pull another truck up to it and turns the motor on my truck faster than the trucks battery for a good 2 mins straight.
God Bless you all! All glory to God! Turn from your sins and live for God! Romans 10:9 “if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God rose Him from the dead you will be saved.”
If I was your dad I’d keep you far away from my trucks and cold starts tuning them like you do. First off, you should have put 911 in each of the trucks tanks , second- you need block heater so you don’t have to be like these other knuckleheads thinking cold starts are cool or amazing they start so look how good of a truck it is? Never. Understood that cuz it’s so hard on them. Third -- Cycle the trucks before starting at least 3 x’s Your dads letting you stay in his cabin and drive his trucks at least you could take care of them
Kinda poor technique trying to jump a dead truck in low temps. Run a charger out to the truck. Charge them fully and then execute. Stopped watching so I don't know how it ended.
Love that tractor 🚜 /cold start/ feels like home sounds like heaven

Glad to hear that. I know there’s still a lot of good 7.3’s out there
No reason not to plug it in, just putting more wear on it. Plug that thing in when you can

I hear ya! I work with what I have too! Maybe grab a second set of jumper cables too! Good work!

Will probably start up better
I love my 7.3 she's got 500k miles and needs some TLC bad but when I can afford it lol. But I wanna try to get her to a million miles!
Awesome. Good luck!
Oh my. Did it break the yoke on the rear ds?

That’s interesting. Cool
It is worth it to get a second thick set of cables. I have 4 of those 7,3’s. And the rev does help
Yeah I just didn’t have another set on me. I have 3 7.3’s and love them all. Even the one with a blown motor.
Should be a goal to get 1Million miles on that truck ASAP
Last year I did a cold start on my 7.3 with a temp of -20°, and my glow plugs are going bad gotta replace them soon, but yea these trucks will start and very low temperatures if you start it every so often
They definitely don’t like to sit
Took me a week to start my 7.3 that’s been sitting for 4 months I’m up in Boston so it’s been cold AF
Let me get a shot of this Diesel.. 😎
😎yes

7.3's need 2 good batteries in my experience. if you're boosting them from dead, always boost both batteries
A yard full of Ford trucks 😎
The way it should be
Ford Built Tough
That’s right
What’s a good first truck to buy
Gm 6.0 vortec.
Man get you a lithium ion jump pack. Like 100 bucks and you don't have to pull another truck up to it and turns the motor on my truck faster than the trucks battery for a good 2 mins straight.
Yeah I need to invest in a good one
I don’t need a diesel but I want one
I think that’s the way most people are
Best thing I ever did for my 7.3 trucks were agm batteries 🤣
It helps
Bro are we related?????? My last name overman too
I don’t know. Not a lot of overmans.
I know right you in Canada???
Ya ...Not every country requires carrying a handgun with you ...
That sucks it puked the drive shaft. Better in the yard than out on the road though.
Yeah I know that’s for sure. Would have to have it happen out on road

Yeah I was just using what I had. Truck did end up starting pretty easy once I put a fast idle stick in the 6.7.
